¹ Moreouer Iob continued his parable, and sayd, ² As God liueth, who hath taken away my iudgment, and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soule; ³ All the while my breath is in mee, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils; ⁴ My lips shall not speake wickednesse, nor my tongue vtter deceit. ⁵ God forbid that I should iustifie you: till I die, I will not remoue my integritie from me. ⁶ My righteousnesse I hold fast, and will not let it goe: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I liue.

⁷ Let mine enemie be as the wicked, and he that riseth vp against me, as the vnrighteous. ⁸ For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soule? ⁹ Will God heare his cry, when trouble commeth vpon him? ¹⁰ Will he delight himselfe in the Almightie? will hee alwayes call vpon God?

¹¹ I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almightie, will I not conceale. ¹² Behold, all ye your selues haue seene it, why then are yee thus altogether vaine? ¹³ This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressours which they shall receiue of the Almightie. ¹⁴ If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his offpring shall not be satisfied with bread. ¹⁵ Those that remaine of him shall bee buried in death: and his widowes shall not weepe. ¹⁶ Though he heape vp siluer as the dust, and prepare rayment as the clay: ¹⁷ He may prepare it, but the iust shall put it on, and the innocent shall diuide the siluer. ¹⁸ He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh. ¹⁹ The rich man shall lie downe, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not: ²⁰ Terrours take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night. ²¹ The East winde carieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storme hurleth him out of his place. ²² For God shall cast vpon him, and not spare: hee would faine flee out of his hand. ²³ Men shall clap their handes at him, and shall hisse him out of his place.
